The Sclerogibbidae are a small family of aculeate wasps in the superfamily Chrysidoidea.
Overview
[edit]Sclerogibbidae are ectoparasitoids of Embioptera. The female wasp oviposits an egg on the abdomen of a host. Once the larva emerges, it attaches itself to its host. After the host is consumed, the larva detaches itself from the carcass and spins a cocoon. While in all modern species, females are wingless (apterous), this is not true for fossil species.[1]
The currently recognised taxa within the family Sclerogibbidae are:[2]
- subfamily †Sclerogibbodinae
